I've been keeping a Golden Hamster in this for about two years, so there are some scratches and minor stains. I've washed it thoroughly and disinfected everything with food-grade alcohol. Shipping costs are surprisingly high, so I think this is a pretty good deal as a set. The cage is designed to open from the front and top, and it's transparent overall, making it easy to see your hamster. You can start raising your hamster right away if you prepare a toilet. - Cage (no instructions) - Water bottle (sometimes leaks. Please close the lid by pushing it in firmly) - Food dish - Acorn hideout - Exercise wheel - Bedding (paper material) - Toilet sand, 2 packs - Hamster food (for Golden Hamsters) The three items in the second to last photo can be included as a bonus at no extra charge. All are opened. Toilet sand (about 60% remaining) Bedding (a little) Banana chips (about 80% remaining) The banana chips snack has an expiration date of November 2025. If you are purchasing, please let me know in the comments whether you want the bonus items or not.
